A boy in India has died from injuries after jumping off a terrace to save himself from an aggressive group of monkeys.
Naman Jain, 16, sustained serious injuries on Sunday after waking a group of monkeys who were sleeping on the terrace of his house in Kasganj.
Kasganj's city unit president Akhilesh Agarwal said of the tragedy: 'The 16-year -old boy had gone to the terrace of his house for some fresh air when a group of monkeys sleeping there chased him.'
At least four deaths were reported in Braj last month due to the growing monkey menace that has also led to tourist injuries
'Some monkeys were already sleeping there and they chased the boy who ran in panic and tried to jump to the terrace of a nearby house. But he fell on the road alongside his house in Johra Vora lane.' Agarwal said.
The boy had been taken to numerous Kasganj hospitals but his condition worsened and he died on Monday while on his way to Agra for treatment.
Agarwal said a trader also from Kasganj had died in a similar case due to a monkey attack, while last month an angry monkey snatched a 12-day-old baby from his mother's lap and killed him in Agra.
Last November a woman also died after monkeys walking on a wall nearby caused bricks to fall on her head, killing her on the spot.
There have been at least four deaths reported in the Braj region in the last month due to the growing monkey menace that has also seen tourists getting injured.
Troops of monkeys have also colonised areas around parliament, including prime minister Narendra Modi's office and the finance and defence ministries in New Delhi.
The rapid growth of cities has displaced macaques, geographically the most widely distributed primates in the world after humans, driving them into human habitats to hunt for food
Ragini Sharma, a home ministry employee, said: 'Very often they snatch food from people as they are walking, and sometimes they even tear files and documents by climbing in through the windows.'
Hundreds of macaques feasting on optic fibre cables strung along the banks of the river Ganges were also responsible for derailing the prime minister's plans to roll out wifi in the city of Varanasi in 2015.
In 2007, monkeys pushed the deputy mayor of Delhi, S.S. Bajwa, off his balcony to his death.
Rapidly growing cities have led to the displacement of macaques who are being driven into human habitats to hunt for food.
There is no official estimate of their numbers, but monkeys have bred rapidly in Delhi and the neighbouring states as they have protected status.
Four years ago authorities discovered a partially successful solution after hiring 40 men to disguise themselves as langurs and squeal monkey-like to scare the macaques away.
A government official said: 'We call them 'ape repellers' and they are contract employees.'
The stratagem only works temporarily as the monkeys flee on hearing the calls, but return once the men depart.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
